The paper presents the screening of various feedforward neural networks (FANN) and wavelet-feedforward neural networks (WFANN) applied to time series of ground-level ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5 fractions...
To effectively monitor the atmospheric quality of small-scale areas, it is necessary to optimize the locations of the monitoring sites. This study combined geographic parameters extraction by GIS with fuzzy matter-element analysis. Geographic coordin...
This study focuses on correlations between total number concentrations, road traffic emissions and noise levels in an urban area in the southwest of Spain during the winter and summer of 2009. The high temporal correlation between sound pressure leve...

An experimental assessment of personal exposure to PM10 in 59 office workers was carried out in Dublin, Ireland. 255 samples of 24-h personal exposure were collected in real time over a 28 month period. A series of modelling techniques were subsequen...
Identifying and quantifying pollution sources and their associated health risks are essential for formulating effective pollution control policies. This study analyzed PM-bound trace elements based on one year of sampling data collected from a low-PM...
BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) prevalence has risen steadily in California (CA) over several decades, with environmental factors like air pollution (AP) increasingly implicated. This study investigates associations between prenatal exposu...
IMPORTANCE: Recent data point to the impact of non-traditional environmental and social factors on Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias (ADRD) mortality. Our study aimed to determine the extent to which antecedent air pollution, social vulnerability...
Urban air pollution poses significant health risks, especially to pedestrians due to their proximity to pollutants and lack of physical protection. Understanding the influence of built environment factors is essential to mitigate this pollution and s...
